Baker Mayfield went from being cut by the Panthers to being claimed by the Rams to taking the field on Thursday Night Football in a span of four days. It was a wild week, to say the least, traveling across the country and learning a playbook in a very short period of time.
Sean McVay didn’t give him the start against the Raiders, but he did let him play the rest of the game after pulling John Wolford three snaps into the night. The results were obvious, with Mayfield leading the Rams to a comeback victory over Las Vegas, driving down the field for two touchdowns with less than five minutes left.
